A woman has told how her addiction to eating bath bubbles during her pregnancy was better than SEX. Zoe Eastman’s unusual craving saw her soak in the tub three times a day, where she would spend hours satisfying her obsession - consuming every last bubble. The 33-year-old barber, from Liverpool, says: “When I first fell pregnant, I enjoyed pampering myself in the bath with soothing lotions. “I’d try different products, but it wasn’t until I was 20 weeks pregnant that the craving to eat bath bubbles started. “I came across ginseng and black pepper Radox Muscle Therapy, and I couldn’t get enough. “I would put the bubbles up to my nose and inhale. “The experience was invigorating and soon I started tasting bubbles. For some strange reason I loved the consistency. “It was a sensual feeling - like having an orgasm. It was better than sex.”
